If the conieience report should be re- jected by the Senate a motion seeking another conference with the Houss is expected, with instructions from the Senate to its conferees to insist upon the debenture clause. If it passes, the measure will be ready for the President The coalition Democrats have de- clared that if the House will take a direct vote on dcbenture and, should it be defeated in that vote, they will not longer insist upon holding up the farm bill, but will let it go through without, the debenture clause. The Re- publican leadess ~Z the House in the past, however, haws flatly take the debenture to the House for a vote. Some of them insist that it does violence to the constitutionai prerogative of the House to originate all revenue legisiation. Claim Fear of House Test. The Democrats and Republican in- surgents ciaim that te Republican lead ers of the House are afraid to put the debenture to the test of a vote in the House. “his is flatly denied by the Republicans, who assert it would be beaten badly in a vote of the House. The debenture was put into the farm bill originally by the Senate by a close vote of 47 fo 44 against the solid ad-| ministration line-up. Several switches have been rumored Senator Trammel, Democrat, Florida, announced today he would support the conference report. He voted before for the debenture. This gave the adminis- tration a gain of one sure vote. Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, one of the four Democrats who voted against the debenture clause when it was first before the Senate, announced today on the floor his purpose of voting against the conference report on the bill. He said in explanation of his vote: “From the outset I have been Qp- posed to the debenture plan, because, as is frankly stated by its sponsors, it is a bounty. This, all agree, to be a radi- cal departure from the policy of our Government, but is justified by its ad- vocates on the theory that it puts the farmer on a par with the manufacturer who is a beneficlary of a protective tariff. Sees Debenture Doomed. “There is little danger, in view of *.1e attitude of the House, of the debenwure plan being enacted into law at the present time. My vote and the vote of @ few others, however, may de-ide the tate of the House farm reief bill Though I am not So_strenuously op- posed to the House bill as I am to the debenture, yet my opposition to the House bill is such that I do not propose to aid in its enactment into law. .“The provision for the creation of a Federal Farm Board in the so-called House bill sets up a bureau to which is given a working fund of $500,000,000 of public money. It places the Gov- ernment in the farming business. I am’ opposed to the Government being en- gaged in the business of agricultural production and marketing just as much as I am opposed to the Government di- recting any other industry or business. .I am opposed to the agricultural inter- ests of the country becoming a political foot, ball or being regulated by a politi- cal board. “That which is the trouble with the farm problem is not unlike the diffi- culties experienced by the textile and coal industries.

S 1 write the sound of music comes fioating through my open door and through the porthole, accompanied - by the shuffling of feet pn the deck above my head. Dancing is going on, the con- cluding portion of a program of “events” |in commemoration of the birthday of | the Emperor of Japan. We had been given notice, informally. that April 29, being the natal day of the present Em- | peror. there would bz services and-enter- tainments. This morning the whole company appeared in white uni- and many of the passengers fol- lowed suit, not particularly in recog- nition of the birthday, but because of | the rise in the temperature. Our south- erly slant of course has brought us into the neighborhood of the Tropic of | Cancer, and there has been much visi- tation of the baggage hold and emer- gence with garments of the lighter | weights. | | At 10 o'clock. according to notice posted on the bulletin boards. all on | board who could be spared from ship's duties assembled on the port promenade deck, & wide space eminently suitable for such a gather- ing. Chalk marks had been drawn on the deck to assign | spaces to officers, {crew and passen- | gers. ~ We of the Occident had been assured that our presence would be welcome. ~ So our | party gathered in a | group and received | nstructions in the Isingle ritualistic | feature of the cere- | mony, being told | the direction _in | which Japan then { lay with respect to the ship. A plano had been brought forth and | the Filipino musicians were gathered | and were engaged in tuning their | instruments while the crew assembled and the second and third cabin pas- sengers came up from the lower decks. When all was ready there were fully 400 people, men, women and children, in the assemblage, mostly Japanese. As the ship's bell struck the hour of 10 Capt. Arakida stepped to the front and spoke & few words in explanation of the fact that the Emperor’s birthday was at hand and then he called upon all to face toward Jepan. A word to the musicians and the band struck up the air of “Kimagayo,” the nationa] anthem. Voices Raised®in Song. Just before the service bogan officers | had passed small, neatly printed fold- ers among the non-Japanese members of the ship’s company, comprising the words and music of the anthem, the words being in both Japanese and Eng- lish text. As the prelude was ended every voice was raise@® in song. These are the words that floated out across the sea: “Kimigayowa chi no niya, chi yo nisa zare ishi noiwatona rite kokeno musumade.” I may have syllabized this wrongly. If so, any person reading it will instantly detect my error, if versed in_Japanese. 1 nave sought from some of the pas. sengers of bilingual competence trans- Jation of this anthem, and have found the following to be the most satisfactory rendering: “May our Emperor live 8 thousand years—nay. ten thousand, till pebbles great rocks become, with moss all overgrown.’ These words were sung twice. This is the invariable ritual of such a service. The voices swelled in surprising volume. There was no harmonizing on the part of the singers—just the simple, minor melody, ending with abrupt departure from the expected interval. And as they sang, the Japanese, whom I found m{- self, despite the desire to accord strictly to the precept of the occasion, watching out of the corner of mv eye, weré rapt | in a devotion that bespoke the ages of | fealty which make the background of | Japanese history. The song ended. * Mr. Ly ‘There was a mo- reasons the textile indust like the farming industry, is in & ht. Why not propose to equalize it with all other manufacturies by stabilization as- sociations till the ‘price is righty Why not stabilize with Government “aid the extensive unemfl,loyment in the eount%? “Overproduction, together with tl waste between the farmer and the con- sumer, due to the excessive freight rates and profits of the middle man, is one, if not the chief, difficulty of agriculture. Nothing is proposed in these measures to eradicate these. Urges Elimination of Waste. “The first_ way to solve the farm prob- lem is the elimination of every penny of waste between farmer and consumer, whether it rises from speculation, haz- ard or otherwise, I favor preferential freight rates for all food products. By such method the farmer and consumer would both benefit, and no bounty ex- tended that one group must pay to an- other group. “No governmental agency should en- gage in buying, selling and price-fixing of agricultural products. Neither should any policy be adopted that would in creas surplus production. The pre d farm relief measures indirectly do these things. \ “Why should the farmer become the sole solicitude of the Government by having a board created to nurse his ills and have rge revolving fund avail- able, which, to my mind, is only the beginning of increased appropriations by the hundreds of millions of dollars from time to time? Does not this mean increased tax burdens, further central- ization of Government and no assurance of benefits to the farmer? “Tens of thousands of independent merchants throughout the country are in dire distress and likely to lose their businesses through the cutting of prices by chain stores. Why not organize one great chain of marketing agencles and put up a fund of $500,000,000 to stabilize these merchants against chain-store competition? Such a proposal no one would dare consider seriousl, Both of these proposals are an in- sidious march toward bureaucracy and socialism. As to the House bill, we hear it said that there is no price fixing and no bureaucracy, yet it pro- poses to loan several hundred millions of dollars to carry crops until they can be disposed of and at the same time create a farm board with a small army of employes with tremendous and un- defined powers. Talk of & compromise proposal whereby the export debenture would be put in the farm relief bill for a two-year tryout was heard during the morning. . DEFENDERS OF REPUBLIC ORGANIZE NEW CHAPTER Association Under Name of John A. Logan Elects and Installs Corps of Officers. The John A. Logan Chapter, No. 2, of the Daughters of the Defenders of the Republic, U. 8. A., was organized at the home of Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker yes- terday. The meeting was called to ment of silence. ‘Then the captain | spoke a single word: “Banzal” In- stantly there were three great shouts, in cadence, the full-throated cheer of the Japanese. with uplifted arm at each cry of the word that become world known during the Russo-Japanese war, when the soldlers of the rluer at Tokio sent it echoing across seas and conti- nents as they charged tp victory. Then it was all over. As the last “panzal” swept over the rail in the direction of Japan the assemb broke ranks. The Emperor's birt had once more been observed and honored | by his faithful subjects. ‘Wrestling Match Staged. That constituted the formal portion of the celebration. During the after- noon the sailors, members of the deck crew, staged a wrestling contest on one of the Iorwd:rd {?ver Fm lse‘d um'; ary grandstand was improvised u ?-:‘e of the hatches and a tarpaulin E:d been stretched overhead to give shelter from sun. Mats were spread, thick straw mats covered with canvas, to afford some protection to the wrestlers in their tumbles. Ovef this canvas an- other was spread, with a 12-foot ring formed by padding. Then the men hung gay colored strips of cloth around this arena and festooned them up with silk tassels, until the wrestling place was transformed nto an attractive stage. I‘enever more keenly regretted that my early education did not include the Japanese language, for, enjoyable though the speetacle of the wrestling bouts was, it lacked, for the fullest benefit of understanding, an interpreter. After all the deck-fixing had been finished the sailors disappeared, to return in a few minutes “clad" as wrestlers, which is to_say stripped to the breech-clout and ‘wrestling wrapping which marks this sport, the national game of the Japanese. This wrapping of stqut cloth, blue for one side in this contest ans white for the other, is an important factor of the wrestler’s rig, for one of the “holds” of the contestant is the grasping of the band—if he can—of his opponent, to use it for leverage for throwing his man. Somehow or other = the wrestling started, it would appear, before all was ready; for after a bout or two had taken place in stalked two personages of great imnortance, Wwhose appearance was hailed with loud cheers and much Jaughter by the assemblage.

There was one lithe, slender fellow, fair almost to the Caucasian hue of skin, who won several falls, and in the melee wrestling, when a winrfter may be tackled in succession by a dozen, leaping into the ring on their own volition, he was frequently victorious.

To try to get the story from a Japanese, however, is rather honeless. It would seem that the trick | is to throw your ogpmun! by dint of swif: attack or change of leverage. | There is no grotncted tussling.

In all this fighting, which is fierce | while it lasts, there is not the slightest ill temper. I asked Capt.

After a_couple of hours of wrestling, I left, & bit fatigued. The program, I am told, continued for half an hour longer. There was much presentation of prizes, handed over ceremoniously by | the umpire. These prizes were all wrapped in tissue and e"v papers and the identity could not be discerned. But I was told later that they consisted of small sums of money, a few sen for each bout, the funds for the games having been contributed by the Japa- nese passengers. We Americans were not informed of the occasion, and so were unable to subscribe to the prize money, which, of course, we would have been greatly pleased to do, as we enjoyed the afternoon equally with the others, save for our deprival of the humorous features.

Calles among the conferees, or even in the background, would be helpful to progress of the ne- glations, it was felt. Gen.

About an hour later, he says, the ele- vator came back down, bringing Cooper. He says he then put Cooper back in the cell with the other three. A few minutes later, the van from the jall drove up to take the prisoners back. The driver counted four as they filed past. He was satisfied.

Everything might have continued to move along smoothly and indefinitely had it not been for Cooper’s visit to the home of his lawyer, Royal Hughes. The lawyer was not at home when Cooper called, so the “escaped” prisoner asked Mrs. Hughes to reassure her hus- ‘band that he wculd be in court on the appointed day. When Hughes heard of the visit he notified the marshal, know- ing that Cooper was supposed to be in Jjail. When the news reached the mar- shal he started an investigation, which revealed that Cooper was gone, but dis- All of the facilities of the marshal's office are being concentrated now on finding out how Cooper managed to get away. The marshal has hit upon the fol- Jowing explanation of the escape: C oper arrived at the courthouse safe- 1v enough and was locked up there with the other prisoners. While Cooper was in court, assuming that he was, another colored 'prisoner was turned 1 by a | bondsman and locked up in the cell with the three others who were brought from the jail with Cooper. If this was done, it must have been done while the guard on duty was away from his post, or, else he forgot about the new arrival when time came to take them back to | Jadl. ‘Marshal Is Much Interested. At any rate, under this theory, when Cooper was brought back from the courtrocm there were five men in the cell and not four The jail van came for the prisoners and since neither the driver nor the guard knew a fifth man had been put the cell they were entirely satls- fled to take four away. Presumably, Cooper concealed himself while the other four were helng‘ led out, and then, sfter the guards had gone simply walked out through the open door and into the street.

The decizion to visit th2 | Capital was made by the teacher after | Robert, during a civics class meeting, | had expresed the wish to hear the Con- gressmen. Representative McMillan of South Carolina, was appealed to by letter, and | he promised to hold Congress in session | until the school children arrived. i They made the trip by bus, stopping along the way to visit points of interest. | Their return trip will be made in the | same manner. | The long-awaited visit to the Capitol | was made yesterday afternoon. - though excited at being in the presence of the law makers, Robert showed some | evidence of disappointment. | After some questioning he admitted that the Congressmen had not lived up to his expectations. “Why,” he said, “they aren’t so much at arguing. We have better arguments in class than they did.” | i | i | | | PRINCE;g INGRID’S BETROTHAL TO WALES | IN TWO WEEKS SEEWN (Continued From First Page.) | | her and are sharing in a round of social ! activity.

The dead are: Mr. and Mrs. Henry Boardman, Harry, Ona, 14, and Bea- trice, 16. The tragedy orphaned three other children, the oldest of whom is 4 years. Harry was swimming with Randolph Bennet, a friend, when he was seized. At the boy's outcry Mr. Boardman dashed from his home, followed by his wife and the two girls. All plunged into the swiftly moving stream, fully clothed. Bennett swam ashore and sought assistance. There were no witnesses to the final struggle of the five. When Bennet re- turned to the river with aid the bodies were floating in midstream. They were promptly brought to the bank, where police and firemen worked over them an_hour. ‘The Boardmans moved here recently and were not believed to have been familiar with the perilous current of the river. Neighbors plan to care for their remaining children until homes- can be found for them. EIGHT HOURS FOR LABOR. Intention of Britain to Ratify Con- vention Announced.

Herr Stresemann’s nst the report of the committee of three | had been expected since May 23, When | the proposals formulated by both Ger- many and Canada concerning the pro- tection of 40,000,000 minority peoples were rejected. Sir Austen Chamberlain, Senor Qui- | nones de Leon of Spain and M. Adachi of Japan refused at that time to ac- cept the suggestion that the League Council exercise constant supervision over interests of these minority peoples. They decided thatethe Council could act, under the powers given by the | minority_treaties, only when a member {of the Council reported an infraction of the treatles. Briand's Plea Is Futile. Aristide Briand, French foreign min- ister, today appealed to Herr Strese- mann to accept the report as a mini- mum on which to form a base for fur- | ther discussions by the Council itself.
